What is Varicocele Disease?

The condition, which is often an important source of male infertility may be caused by faulty valves within the veins, or pressure that a vein experiences due to adjacent structures.

Symptoms of Varicocele

What is Coil OR Glue Embolization Treatment
Dr. Aakash Patel specializes in the treatment of varicoceles, which is a condition which causes the veins of the scrotum to expand, which can cause swelling, pain as well as infertility. Dr. Patel uses a minimally-invasive procedure known as varicocele embolization, to treat this problem. In the course of treatment, radiologists insert a coil or utilizes special substances to block the vein affected by diverting blood flow from the area. The procedure helps relieve the symptoms and boost fertility by offering patients an alternative to surgery for problems related to varicocele.
How We Process
Dr. Aakash Patel offers Coil OR Glue Embolization treatment for Varicoceles, a convenient outpatient procedure that typically doesn't require a hospital stay. Patients can expect to be in and out in less than an hour, returning home the same day.
Here's what to expect during your Coil OR Glue Embolization Treatment of Varicoceles:
- Upon arrival, you'll be prepared for the procedure by wearing a hospital gown and being positioned comfortably on the exam table. Special measures will be taken to ensure optimal access to the treatment area while prioritizing your safety and comfort.
- Dr. Patel will begin by administering a local anesthetic to numb the treatment site. Using advanced imaging techniques such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy, he will carefully locate the varicoceles before and during the procedure to ensure accurate placement of the coils or glue.
- A small incision will be made in the groin or upper thigh area to access the affected veins. Through this incision, a catheter will be inserted and guided to the site of the varicoceles.
- Once in position, either coils or glue will be delivered through the catheter and into the varicocele veins. These materials will cause the veins to clot and eventually close off, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins.
- After the embolization procedure, the incision site will be monitored for any signs of bleeding or complications. You'll receive post-procedure instructions and may be discharged shortly thereafter, with guidance on resuming normal activities and follow-up appointments.
